Are you our new colleague? Do you like to work on scientific software? Do you want to be part of the data analysis preparations for new space missions? Then you are the person we are looking for. You and SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research With your work at SRON, you will prepare our data analysis software for Xray and infrared astronomy for the next generation of space observatories. The SPEX package is one of the worldleading spectral modelling codes for Xray astronomy. For the upcoming space missions XRISM and ATHENA, you will build a modular version of SPEX to enable it for use in future data analysis. For the RADEX package, which is widely used in the infraredsubmm astronomy community to model molecular spectra, the main goal is to expand the code to allow multimolecule and spectralspatial analysis. The code is currently used for ALMA and SOFIA, but an upgrade is also useful for upcoming observatories like JWST, METIS, GUSTO and OASIS. Your position and team You will be part of a team of 5 scientists and software engineers mf in the Astrophysics DataSoftware Group, which is part of the Astrophysics ASTRO program line at SRON. Our team supports data analysis and software projects within the ASTRO program with our expertise on calibration, advanced data analysis methods and software development. You will be based at our new location in Leiden. For the SPEX and RADEX projects, you will closely collaborate with the astronomers developing the code. You will therefore gain handson experience in developing scientific software that is specifically tailored to the needs of cuttingedge research. Your project During the first two years of the appointment, you will contribute to the SPEX software package by creating separate modules and documented interfaces APIs for the atomic data, spectral modelling and spectral fitting features of SPEX. In the final six months, you will add spectralspatial and multimolecule capability to the RADEX software package. Both packages are mainly written in the Fortran programming language. Position requirements We are looking for a person with a background in scientific computing or similar at an academic level. Clear assets will be strong programming skills in either Python, C andor Fortran, and handson experience with objectorientedmodular software design. Further Fortran training on the job is possible. Furthermore, you are expected to work accurately and in a structured way. Good English language skills speaking and writing and the ability to both work in a team and independently are a necessity for us. Providing a public Github profile or similar in your CV is highly appreciated. What we offer The position that we offer at SRON is a fulltime position in which you will be employed by NWOI The Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research Institutes for a period of 2.5 years. The salary will be in accordance with NWO salary scale 10 with a maximum of 4.514, gross per month on a fulltime basis depending on your level of education and experience. Compensation for commuting expenses will be provided.
